It might seem easy to describe the character of Indian sculpture, its sensuousness, dynamism, elegance, but also the lightness and vitality which turn temple walls into "tableaux vivants" teeming with figures that seem to dance and free themselves of the weight of the stone in which they are carved. But to consider Indian classical art on its aesthetic grounds alone surely would be a restrictive view, for it implies further and deeper levels of interpretation: symbolic, mythological, and not least spiritual...
